To these boys who have given up their education, to many who have given their all, We will always be deeply indebted. Some day many of these men will be coming home again to start life anew, and Ben Davis will always welcome them as visitors, or as students, but until that day, that they may be well informed ol events in their school, we have tried to include in this annual the things they Want to know.

We, the members of the physics class, are proud to say that we had no part in producing the obnoxious odors that came from they lab this year. But in this picture, Harley Adams, under the supervision ot Mr. Mills, seems to be intelligently studying a lever. 3. Debts, credits, income, expenses are all befuddling, but Miss Kennedy soon makes every- thing clear.

This is Mrs. lay's freshman English class. Every student in the junior building is required to take English as a required part ot his course. They study grammar and literature, two sub- jects Which will make them better students, and tinally, better citizens, Miss McLane's history students have made many interesting travels over the World. Here Connie Brinly at the map leads them through Russia, Egypt, China, Africa, and other coun- tries. l-2-3-4. Who can touch the floor? Daily exercises are taken in this gym class, with the Com- mands given by Mrs. Shaw. 5 Top Picture: Mrs. Cricler's Latin Class. It may be Latin, but it's Greek to me. Such thoughts must be running through their minds as the students in Mrs. Crider's freshman Latin classes labor up the first rungs on the ladder of the Latin language. Bottom Picture: lunior Building Chorus. With all the up and coming talent in the freshman chorus class, Mrs. Rybolt will be able to give some very fine programs in the next three years, especially with sixteen boys, the most boys ever in one chorus class. 6 K 11 Wywamiwiw 0401, Y K K fu '4 Nxk'7f.TQ 4' JI , z r ,nl ,I Amt: X xv 1 f -fu 7 c Mr. Charles H.

Many oi our old teachers are still here, and many new ones have taken over. All are doing an excellent job oi All of our teachers have been extra busy this year, too, with the job of giving added instruction to some of our boys who will soon be joining those already overseas, and enabling them to pass special tests required for a certain branch of the service. ln short, to its faculty, Ben Davis owes everything. To those who prepare us for our part in society and future life, and, seeing their Work successfully completed, turn to the next class to begin again their never-ending task, We, and all former students of Ben Davis, will always owe a debt ff' y.-Qylgfoun FACULTY Row One Mrs. Vonneda Dunn Bailey Mrs. Elsie Ball Mr. Gordon Brankle Mrs. Beneda Camgbell Miss Olive Carrut ers Mr. Chester Combs Mrs. Elizabeth Crider Row Two: Miss Gladlfys Dawson Mrs. Eva aton b Miss Flora Franklin Mrs. Lora Fravel Miss Dorcas Harger Mr. Gordon Harker Miss Mildred Hopkins Row Three: Mrs. Wilma lay Mrs. Mable Keele Miss Hazel Kennedy Miss Elsie Kin Mrs. Iessie Kimi Miss Mary McLane Mr. Thomas Mahan Row Four: Miss Nina Marlin Mr. Ralgh Montgomery Mr. Car Nau le Mrs. Faye Ne?son Miss Lois Noflke Mr. A.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As I enter Ben Davis, I am astounded at the tremendous strides our city has taken in the last fifteen years. It has grown so fast that it is to become the scene of the 1960 World's Fair. Indianapolis is now merely a suburb of Ben Davis, and its quaint old buildings contrast sharply with the ultra-modern skyscrapers that line the busy streets of Ben Davis. As I stroll down the broad, tree-lined avenues, I catch an occasional glimpse of old familiar faces, and signs of my class of '45. Right across the street I see the Beuke building. It seems that Bob Beuke has become a sec- ond lohn Robert Powers. Coming out of his office are Iulia Adkins and Marjorie Ross. As I stop to talk, I learn that they are modeling a new dress designed by Hilda Dudziak and made of a new transparent fabric invented by Paul Mongan. Just then our conversation is interrupted by the wailing of sirens as two cars dash madly down the street. The girls scream Ernest Grosdidier is loose again, and dash for cover. Finally he is overtaken, and two men in white uniforms drag him struggling into an ambulance, and drive away. As I wander on down the street, I pass a luxurious night club with a sign in front, which reads: 'Club Rowdy: Bob Barker and Earl Fultz, Proprietors. Current Attractions: lack 'Hot Lips' Gilbert and His Band, Featuring Virginia Saters at the Piano, and Songs by Betty lane Scott. As the billing looks good, I go inside. At the door I am greeted by Harold Blunk, who makes a charming doorman in his long coat and brass buttons. But just as I turn to go in, a large black limousine stops in front of the door, and Dewey Lowry, the multi-millionaire, and several of hisfriends, get out. I also recognize Ernest Cook, William Davis, Darwin Wagner, Robert Kreider and Iames Switzer. When I check my coat, I notice the hat check girl as Ianet McKeand. As the headwaiter CEwell Smithl shows me to my table, I see that the show is in progress. Leroy Ott, the great magician, is doing card tricks and performing sleight of hand. At a table near me, I see Alvin Dawson and Eileen Weddle. Suddenly my attention is attracted by a commotion over at one of the tables. Then Iames McCormack fthe bouncerl throws Bob Kellems out because he can't pay his check. Having finished an excellent dinner, I get my coat and leave. As I walk on down the street, I learn more about my classmates. Richard Day owns a bar- ber shop, and Bill Baber is his assistant. Bill Bauke is owner of Bauke's Beanery, a restaurant, and Marilyn Wise is his chief dishwasher. Wayne Williams owns an automobile garage, with Fords as his specialtyg while Richard Deifenderfer tests automobiles to see if they are crash- proof. Roger McCar1n is a boogie-Woogie pianist. Iohnnie Kafoure owns a grocery store, and his assistants are Dorothy Eason, Mary Ann lmhausen, and Vivian Iones. From them I learn that Donna Lunt is a famous figure skater, and Norma Ashley, luanita Becker, and Ronald Bula, Hugh Craig, and Robert Ringlespaugh are school teachers. As I come to a railroad crossing, I find I must wait for a train to pass. Isee that the engineer is Robert Ienkins, and as the cars go rattling by, I see a group of hoboes peer out of an empty boxcar and wave at me. Why, there are Buford Reeves, Alex Yeftich, Don Woodson, Theo- dore Bohne, Delbert Wolfe, Iames Evans, and Elmer Smith! Finally the train passesg and as I cross the track, I am amazed to see the great Broadway producer, Robert Kimmel. He seems quite enthusiastic over the cast of his newest show, and as he names the cast, I can see why. Bernadine Cook is his dancing star, and I recognize Phyllis Bailey at the Hammond organ. I am delighted to hear that he is also booking that famous concert pianist, Iohn Soucie. I find that the show is now playing at the Proffitt theater, named for that famous philanthropist, Don Proffitt. After talking Robert out of a complimentary ticket, I wander on down the street, past shop after shop, where former students of Ben Davis are now successfully plying their trades. Ipass a cleaning establishment run by Claude Knoy, Ruth Lawrence, and Dorothy Lovell: then I see a music store owned by Velma Mattingly and Anna Mae Springer. Suddenly I find myself at a corner newsstand. I buy a paper from George fGeorge Ebert, of coursel and proceed to look for news of my old pals. E 22 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY On the front page of the paper is an article describing Mayor Denton Carlton's aims to fur- ther city development. On the same page there is an editorial by lack Pearcy commending the work of District Attorney Warren Brown and his deputies, George Freund, Iimmie Iones, and William Martin, in combating crime in our city. There is also a review of Ambassador Wil- liam Nelson's good will tour around the world. As I turn the page, I see a picture of Colonel Bob Nowlin, the new commander of Stout Field. Other officers on his staff are Captain George Mil- ler, Major Bob Smith, and Lieutenant Colonel Walter Smith, The article also mentions several members of the W. A. C. who had recently transferred to Stout Field. Among them were Grace White, Betty Armstrong, Peggy Craig, and Norma Eastridge. As I turn to the sports page, I see that Mauler Merrick came out victorious over Bulldog Bristow in the championship wrestling bout last night, and Coach Ray Spurlock's pro-basket- ball team won the International trophy. There is a picture of the team, and I recognize Don Cooper, Bob Risley, Harley Adams, Ed Stegemoller and Evan Fine. On the next page I see that limmie Kelley has written another new song hit called the Fruit Salad Song or When lt's Apple Blossom Time in Orange, New Iersey, We'll Make a Peach of a Pair. Then I see an advertisement of the new movie, He's in the Navy Now, starring Pat Bauder. ' As I salvage the last bits of information from the newspaper, a glance at my watch proves I have just time to catch my plane back East. There were many more of my old friends with whom I should like to have visited, had I had time. Ioe Gillaspy is president of a bank, and Ioe Price, George Gaddie, and Earl Goddard ane lawyers, Iames Cox is an admiral, Keith Kurtz and Harvey Greene are shoe salesmen in William Kinser's department store. Don Stone is a boxer, Iarnes Walters owns a drug storey and Evelyn Doan, Barbara Conner, Marilyn Cox, leanne Mitchell, and Clara Mae Mohr are stenographers. Margaret Schuh is a teacher of hor- ticulture, Donna Madden, Thora Feltis, Evelyn Stockoff, lean Davis, Billie Kean, and Charlotte Hanson are women police. Albert Illg is a weight lifter in a circus, and Marjorie Morgan is pro- prietor of a riding stable. Since Bill Freije inherited a million dollars from his rich uncle, he is taking life easy. Mary Bright is a housemaid, and Helen Ervin is a cosmetics saleswoman. Ioyce Lewis, Alice Mellinger, Mary Reeves, Betty Means, loan Watson, Maxine Hodson, Lelah Trester, Shirley Brizendine, Gertrude Lentz, Phyllis Kieffer, Martha Smith, and Phyllis Stiles are housewives. Marjorie Saxe is clerk in a department store, and Lucille Morris and Rosemary Kafouras are librarians in the state library. Robert Dickerson and Charles Lewis are farmers. Donald Gentry is a piano tuner. Doris Galbreath is an author. Wendell Smith is a baseball pitcher, Irene Bu- trum, Elenora Craig, and Iune Casmire are air hostesses, Phyllis Frye, Lillian Gibson, Pat Glass, and Norma Hall are school teachers, lean Gastino, Laura France, Mildred Earles, and Wilma Iones are telephone operators, Dale Haley and Kenny Iohnson own a hotel, and Ruby Woehl- ecke, Donna Morgan, and Barbara Ruhl are waitresses in a restaurant nearby. Lila Ann Muzzy, Betty Penrose, and Fern Stout are dieticians. Dorothy Skaggs and lean Lawson own a grocery store, and Alta Smith, Margaret Morris, Lucille Price, and Wanda Kersey are clerks in the store. Dorothy Watts writes a column of advice for the lovelorn in the daily paper. Bonita Glidewell, Ioan Sanders, Catherine Timberman, and Donna Shaffer are nurses: and Bernard Short and Marion Thomas are doctors. I, Max Moore, hate to leave old Ben Davis, but, being dean of girls at Vassar University is not a small job, and anyway, I rather like the work, Still I wish this one day could have been a little longer, so I might have visited all my old classmates and further discussed the happy mem- ories we shared as members of the class of '45, ' 23 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As I think back over the four happy years I spent in high school, I wonder how our class grew so large. 'Way back when we were greenies and high school was something we looked on with wonder, there were only about ninety-eight in our class, but now, as we look on life as a great adventure, just as we once regarded high school, we have almost doubled that number. This growth is due partly to the upper classmen who were courteous enough to wait for us, and also to the brainy ones who took high school in leaps and bounds. When we enrolled, we chose as 9A officers, Fred Poland, President, Betty Io Miller, Vice- President, Rosemary Watts, Secretary, and Forrest Muse, Treasurer, with Mr. Walker as class sponsor. The QB officers were Bob Barker, President, julia Adkins, Vice-President, Darlene Al- len, Secretary, Ernest Grosdidier, Treasurer, and Mrs. lay, sponsor. When the new 9B's enrolled, they elected Evan Fine, President, Fern Stout, Vice-President, Mary Cassity, Secretary, Don Fisher, Treasurer, and Mrs. Worrell, class sponsor. The greatest event in our freshman year was the party. We didn't know much about danc- ing, the boys were bashful, and the girls were just a little afraid. But we all went whether we knew how to dance or not, and had a grand time. After the summer vacation, the lUB's went to the new building, leaving the 9A's all alone, so that when they came over in january, the lUB's were quite at home and quick to tease the greenies when they had to ask their way around. But the sophomores seemed just as green to the juniors, and the juniors to the seniors, and so forth. I guess we're always greenies to someone. That year we chose Harley Adams, President, julia Adkins, Vice-President, Marjorie Saxe, Secretary, Bob Barker, Treasurer, and Mrs. Poince, sponsor. When the class party came, we felt just a little more important. We were considerably better at dancing, too, and not nearly so shy. Many of us were able to talk Dad out of the car, and escorting our date to the dance in the family automobile certainly added to our importance. As usual, we all had a swell time. Then, at the close of the year, many of us went to the farewell party. When we returned the next year, we were juniors, and by that time we had begun to notice how fast we were passing through high school. That was a busy year. Our officers were Ernest Grosdidier, President, Marjorie Saxe, Vice-President, julia Adkins, Secretary, Harley Adams, Treasurer, and Miss Winklepleck, sponsor. We all had fun at skating parties, which were planned to raise funds for the junior-senior prom. When April came around, everyone was in a dither about the big event. Girls were worrying about what they were going to wear Cas usualj, and, although they didn't admit it, the boys were excited, too. lust as it had been every other year, we wanted the prom to be the best the school had ever seen. Finally, it came, and everybody was awe-stricken at the beauty of the gym. The whole effect was marvelous, and we were quite pleased with such a 'wonderful farewell to the seniors, and the seniors assured us that they were, too. When we returned to school the next year, we suddenly found ourselves seniors. Already we had begun to look back on our school days with a touch of regret, and now that we had reached our last year, that regret was only emphasized. This year our officers were, President, Harley Adams, Vice-President, julia Adkins, Secretary, Marilyn Wise, Treasurer, Bob Risley, and sponsor, Mrs. Ball. Our senior year was bustling with activity. ,Already we had ordered our class rings, so they would be here in time. In january we received them and were very careful to flaunt them in front of all the underclassmen. Then there were caps and gowns, and countless other things to keep us busy. It was astounding, the rapidity with which the days passed one another, and before we knew it, graduation time was here. Only then did we begin to realize just how much school had meant to us. Now that it was over, I think we all had lumps in our throats as we thought back over some particular incident which we would always remember as an inseparable part of our school days. But it isn't the time for regrets. Now we must look ahead, for we are no longer school kids. We are adults, who must go forth to find our place in society, and join the ranks of the grads of old Ben Davis. But I think I can safely say there isn't one among us who will not look back on his school days as the happiest days of his life. 24 SENIOR ACTIVITIES Harley Adams-Football, Basketball, Track, Class President, 1945, Class Treasurer. 1944, Trialge Club, Keyhole Staff.

These girls are office assistants, headed by Mrs, Kirk, and are selected from the advanced com- mercial classes. They enjoy their work and know it will be of much assistance in helping them gain better sec- retarial and commercial positions after graduation. Pictured above, left to right, row one: Gurna Swails, Phyllis Sockler, Phyllis Bailey, Donna Madden, Lila Ann Muzzy, and Maxine Heritierg row two: Ioan Sanders, Mrs. Kirk, Betty Davidson, jean Davis, Marilyn Grimes, Mary Ann Hittle, Mary Lou Allbright, Margaret Schuh, and Betty Penrose.

During 1944-45, 598 students borrowed more than 10,000 books, over 5,000 of which were stories of all kinds, and the remainder of which were for reference work. Other reference materials are in the pamphlet files, which contain all sorts of articles. There is also a large collection of well-known magazines. Some of the new books that may make your summer interesting are Bombs Away by Iohn Steinbeck, Love at First Flight by Spalding, Stanley's Africa by Busoni, Look to the Mountain by Cannon, Mr, Lincoln's Wife by Colver, The Robe by Douglas, And Now Tomorrow by Field, Nl Never Left Home by Hope, and Bride in the Solomons by Iohnson. 37 LIBRARY STAFF Senior Building Librarians These girls must have been librarians in the Iunior Building before they can be on the senior staff. Under the watchful eye of Mrs. Williams, they learn to file cards and pamphlets, mend books, bind magazines, and help their classmates hunt up references in the magazines and pamphlet files. Pictured below in the senior building library are, left to right, first row, seated: Delores Von Willer, Delores Denny, Lois Dufiy, Peggy l-loeger and Shir- ley Wattsg second row, seated: Charlotte Conn, Mary Ethel Iackson, Virginia Neblett, Rosemary Cafouras, Lucille Morris, Mary Pelley, Faye Kadel, and Lucille Priceg standing: Mrs. Williams, Caroline Briggs, Uldine Christenberry, Iris Childs, Doris Sampley, Io Ann Endsley, Lois Wright, Iuanita Becker, Virginia Montgomery, Carmen Willman, and Dorothy Timberman. Iunior Building Librarians Under the direction of Miss Harger, these girls are learning the fundamentals of library work. Checking books in and out gives them a greater knowledge of books, and also gives them the chance to meet and know many of their classmates who are not in their other classes. Those pictured in the junior library are, left to right, front row: lane Cassiday, Sarah Ioan Phillips, Ioyce Russell, Miss Harger, Patricia Moore, Carol lean Hagan, and loan Crayton, second row: Barbara Howard, Phyllis Powner, Geneva Costelow, Dolores Mills, Iuanita Reid, Bernice Sipe, Cloe Ann Merz, Mary Nungester, and Phyllis Westp third row: Lola Barker, Katherine Mumaw, Arlinia Tracey, Alberta George, Ianice Miller, Virginia Appleby, Delores McRoy, and Betty Brooks. Senior Building y Library T Staff Iunior Building Library Staff 38 SPOTLIGHT STAFF 4 Friday morning of every two weeks found most students eagerly scanning the bi-weekly Ben Davis manual, The Spotlight. The latest school events, sports, and, of course, Roaming Ruthie were all points of interest. Room 103 was a busy place, as it was headquarters for the Spot- light staff and the sponsor, Miss Elsie King. Approximately 735 subscriptions were sold this year. Besides the members of the staff listed below, two other boys contributed much time and etfort to the Spotlight. lack Pearcy wrote an individual column, and always could be counted on for able assistance. Bob Kearns, former editor of the sports page, continued to help after his place was taken by Bob Hayes. Pictured above, seated left to right, are Iackie Mechem, assist- ant editor, Marilyn Grimes, first page editor, Betty Davidson, typist, Ianet Bourne, third page editor, and Bob Hayes, fourth page editor. Standing: Muriel Iohnson, second page editor, Gene Iarrett, editor-in-chief, Miss Elsie King, adviser and journalism instructor, Io Ann Endsley, adver- tising manager, and Barbara Mutter, Roaming Ruthie. 39 DRUM MAIOR AND MAIORETTES Struttin' high, wide, and handsome, our drum major, Ralph Swift, and the pretty majorettes have added much to our entertainment this year. Leading the band at all the basketball games and convocations, they performed so well that Mrs. Rybolt was justifiably proud of them. Pictured above, left to right, are Iuanita Reid, Barbara Mutter, Donna Rushton, Ralph Swift, Phyllis Sock- ler, Lydia Serak, and Dorothy Watts. 40 BAND Our band has accomplished much this year under the leadership of Mrs. Rybolt. Besides thrilling us all at the ball games, it took an active part in the operetta, The Belle of Barcelona, and the Thespian play, Ianie. Members of the cast of The Belle of Barcelona were Robert Orner, Bernadine Cook, William Harper, Robert Aubrey, Melvin Sweeney, Dick Diefenderfer, Larry Poe, Rhea Hurst, Eileen Weddle, Azelle Gray, Bob Bereman, Melvin Cook, and George Miller. The freshman chorus class, the Girls' Glee Club, and the advanced chorus class assisted. We were sorry to see student leader, George Zorca, leave for the Navy, as he always gave great help to the band. The members pictured above are, first row, left to right: Gene Iarrett, Shirley Gantenbein, Thomas Hockman, Clarence Taylor, IoAnn Booher, Marilyn Cox, Norma Smoot, Robert Fisher, and Edward Schuh, second row: George Zorca, Don Sheets, lack Gil- bert, Iohn Yeftich, Kenneth Hoffman, Donn Leach, lean Mitchell, Forrest Fahrbach, La Vera Maile, Richard Kieffer, third row: Richard Diefenderfer, Bob Mabbitt, Richard Daniels, Hilda Naugle, Fred Schuh, lack Ayres, Hugh Craig, Robert Andrews, Robert Lanham, Don Kantner, Ioseph Williamson, Mary Ann Fravel, Beverly Poe, Don Warlord, Charles Watson, Bob Smith, fourth row: lean Brooks, Connie Hummel, Edwin Kendall, Iohn Webb, Betty Hoover, Mrs. Ry- bolt, Bill Beulce, Iim Mason, George Kindler, Wayne Williams, Rosalie Flack, Peggy Craig. 41 SUNSHINE SOCIETY Again in 1945, the Sunshine Society has mingled social affairs and service projects. The most outstanding proj- ect was the mailing of Christmas cards to Ben Davis graduates now in the service. The society also contrib- uted soap and wash cloths to the Polish relief. For the sectionals, mops of purple and white were made by the members to inspire the crowd and team. A homemade candy sale was sponsored just after Christmas. The candy was a great change from commercial brands. Again Miss Williams and Miss Harger were sponsors of the society. The officers of this year were Pat Bau- der, Presidentg Rosalie Flack, Vice-President: Myrna Lewis, Treasurerj Margaret Hadley, Corresponding Secre- tary: Iean Watson, Recording Secretary. , Members in the picture below, from left to right, are as follows: row one, Margaret Schuh, Ioan Sanders, Evelyn Doan, Bonita Glide-well, Iulia Adkins, Thora Feltis, Iean Watson, Margaret Hadley, Rosalie Flack, Pat Bauder, Betty Scott, Iuanita Becker, Irene Butrum, Dorothy Eastridge, Catherine Timberman, Fern Stout, and Ioan Watsong row two, Miss l-larger, Miss Williams, Betty Dunbar, Ioan Martin, Iune Thorp, Mary Ethel Iackson, Mary Lou Allbright, Iean Myers, Mary Ann Hittle, Floy Gray, Geraldine Dodd, Ida Grider, Caroline Briggs, Mar- jorie McDaniel, Helen Blunk, Iva Mae Monqer, and Shirley Bartley, row three, Barbara Howard, Hazel Moore, Rebecca Reid, Dorothy Wilson, Esther Lentz, Christina Ruffin, Norma Smoot, Delores Dickerson, Charlotte Spin- ner, Ioan Phillips, Mary Lazo, Iane Bauder, Barbara Castle, Virginia Flynn, Charlotte Conn, Delores Denny, Vir- ginia Montgomery, and Peggy Haegerp row four, Evelyn Albrecht, Lazora Livingston, Mary Margaret Moore, Betty Parker, Mary Branham, Marjorie Lohrmann, Carol Ham, Evelyn Murray, Carolyn Lentz, Martha Games, Mary Iane Webb, Dessie Hicks, Marjorie Lewis, Evelyn Norris, Geraldine Baldwin, Martha Ferguson, and Mary Ricep row five, Christine Burtrum, Frances Holmes, Ioan Crayton, Sara Ioan Phillips, Clara Ferrell, LaVonne Cox, Phyllis Owens, Phyllis West, Marcita Stippich, Beulah Mae Simmons, Iris Iordan, Marjorie Lemon, Anita Tram- mell, Waltrude Dudziak, Patty Moore, Iane Cassiday, Betty Rash, Ioan Carter, and Ernestine Thompsong row six, Audrey Savage, Iackie lngmark, Dorothy Small, Evelyn DeGolyer, Barbara Iackson, Betty Norris, Io Ann Mason, Shirley Vornehm, Pat Sherman, Iean Gant, Ianice Whipple, Roberta Bishop, Barbara Williams, Iuanita Culbert- son, Annabelle Furgeson, Betty Dalby, and Mary Martha Hill, row seven, Mildred Inman, Barbara Lewark, Alice Lowry, Mary Ann Miller, Rachel Rice, Ianet Childs, Mary Nungester, Phyllis Bourne, Cloe Ann Merz, De- loris McRoy, Doris Mills, Carol Hagan, Betty Brooks, Phyllis Eggers, Meredith Thornborough, Beverly Poe, Gladys Burtrum, and Ioan Booher. 42 HI-Y Many of our boys, now overseas, are former Hi-Y members. Ben Davis had the honor ot being host to the district Hi-Y conference this year, when we entertained all the schools of this district. Our club also installed a new Hi-Y chapter in Washington High School. Hi-Y boys have had charge of the sale of War Bonds and Stamps in our school. To Mr. Shockley, our I-li-Y sponsor, and to the boys of the club, Ben Davis owes a great deal, Pictured above, left to right, are, row one: Richard Venable, Robert Risley, Elmer Smith, Wayne Williams, Robert Kellems, William Merrick, Alex Yeftich, Don Freeland, and Don Proffitt, row two: Mr. Iarnes Shockley, Robert Switzer, Gary Botkin, Edwin Kendall, Carl Basore, Harold Nihiser, Robert Dickerson, Buford Reeves, and Raymond Spurlock, row three: Merrill Fishel, Robert Kearns, Robert Nowlin, Rob- ert Andrews, William Faulkner, George Zorca, Donn Leach, Alvin Dawson, and Gene Iarrettg row four: Iames Cox, Melvin Cook, Walter Blanck, Walter Smith, William O'l-Iaver, Don Cald- well, and George Ebert. 43 LATIN AND MATH CLUBS LATIN CLUB Believe it or not, Ben Davis is going classical. The Latin Club now boasts a membership of one hundred and fifteen, which is larger than ever before. Ernest Grosdidier and Richard Logan have been elected as the Senior and junior Consuls for the year. The club is again under the guidance of Mrs. Mercer, Miss Williams, and Mrs. Crider. TI-IE MATH CLUB For several years, Ben Davis had been without a Math Club. This year Miss Martin undertook to reorganize it under the name of the Trialge Club. From its size, it would seem that the math students have fallen in love with the idea. The officers this year are joseph Gillaspy, President, Thora Feltis, Vice-President, Patricia Glass, Secretaryg and Robert Kellems, Treasurer. lts membership numbers approximately one hundred.

Again in 1945, the members of the dramatic club, sponsored by Mrs. Ball, have done their utmost to entertain the students and faculty. Their most important production was Ianie, a comedy in which Pa- tricia Bauder portrayed the part of Ianie. Others were Ernest Grosdidier as Dick, Max Moore as Scooper, Bill Merrick as Van Brunt, Mary Ann Hittle as Elsbeth, Iohn Soucie as Mr. Colbum, and Iune Thorp as Mrs. Lawrence. The freshman auditorium is boasting a new curtain this year, which the dramatic club helped buy. The annual speech contests at Terre Haute State Teachers' college were quite successful for Ben Davis. The contestants brought back one first, two seconds, and two thirds, The play, The Campbells Are Coming, was also a credit to the seniors. ln all the years to come, we hope that Thespians have as much lun as We had. Those pictured below are, lett to right, row one: Robert Kellems, Iohn Soucie, Ernest Grosdidier, Hilda Dudziak, Donna Lunt, Pat Bauder, Robert Risley, Betty Scott, Iune Thorp, lane Bauder, Mary Ann Risley, Bill Merrick, row two: Mary Ann Hittle, Mary Pelley, Max Moore, Melvin Cook, Phyllis Bailey, Anna Mae Springer, lean Love- land, Marjorie McDaniel, Mrs. Elsie Ball, Mary Ioan Phillips, Lydia Serak, Mary Lazo, row three: Pat Heun, Monalue Ferguson, Azelle Gray, Frances Holmes, Theda Holmes, Kate Eidson, Lois Duffy, lean Meyers, Mary Ethel Iackson, Iuanita Becker, Donna Rushton, Delbert Hinkley, Eli- jah Gregory, row four: George Miller, Dale Haley, Ralph Swift, David Grosdidier, Kenneth Van Treese, Ioe Gillaspy, Iacqueline White, Phyllis Sockler, Iuanita Ponder, Marilyn Grimes, Caro- line Briggs, Carol Ham. 45 Ben Davis can certainly be proud of its R. O. T. C. battalion, instructed by Mr. Reese. Last year the school bought uniforms for the cadets, but now we have a government- sponsored corps. No one who has seen one of our neatly uniformed cadets render a snappy salute to an officer can fail to realize and appreciate the excellent work Mr. Reese and the boys have done for our school. R.

Members of the staff were all assigned special jobs to do, and We did our very best to make the Keyhole a success. We sincerely hope the annual affords as much enjoyment to you as it has to us.

A shot of Ben Davis. What a beautiful view of Bohnel This winsome lass is Mildred McCollum la few years ago?J. The familiar heap of junk that always sits out in front is Art Stout's car. Pepper, Ray Spurlock's dog and would-be mas- cot of our football squad, was the only dog in our history that ever went to school. Midshipman W. L. Rigot, who graduated last year, is at Annapolis Naval Academy. It looks as it Cupid has been at Work in the halls of Ben Davis. How about it, Betty and David? Say, Harley, was that lipstick administered chemically or physically? lt looks as it Harold and Ianet McKeand were bubbling over with enthusiasm at having this picture taken. Well, well, Ginny, why not pass around the neg- atives? Could this really be Bob and Patsy Rippy? lt is evident a girl wasn't taking this picture or Bohne, Scott, and Hayes wouldn't look so bored. Gertrude, please tell us whether that animal is a dog or something else. ZZZZIZZL Wmafcb new M557 W fi '5 .

Besides winning thirteen oi their eighteen regularly scheduled games, they won the 1945 County Cham- pionship, and beat Tech in the sectionals, 36-31. Tech was rated sixth in the state at that time. They also came within three points ot Broad Ripple in the sectionals. Three ot the boys, Don Cooper, Bob Risley, and Ed Stegemoller, made the All-County team. Don Cooper also was selected for the All-Sectional team. Don made 313 points in the past season for an average oi over thirteen points a game.

Mr. Combs and Mr. Harker have done a good job teaching these boys the fundamentals of basketball. The reserve team took some of the boys who ought to have been playing on the freshman squad, and, con- sequently, the Frosh didn't do so well. In six games they won only once. On the other hand, the reserve five won fifteen of the eighteen games they played. They are small, but they have excellent team-work, and ought to look good on the varsity next season. Pictured in the Reserve team picture are, left to right, row one: Richard Burnett, Bill Butrum, Morris An- drews, Descoe Solomon, and Don Warlord, row two: Bob Hurst, Earl Stegemoller, Fred Kantner, lohn Yeftich, and Darrell Edwards, Pictured in the Freshman team, row one, are Iames Arnold, Eddie Poole, Raymond McCord, row two: Tommy Stone, Boyd Cullen, lack Shofner, Ernie Kamm, and Emerson Graham.
